Price Variance related to purchases made during the current period


Current Period purchases = 4,000 kgs Purchase price = Rs. 2.50/kg Standard price = Rs. 2/kg Price Variance relating to the purchases made during the current period = Quantity Purchased (Standard Price Actual Price) = 4,000 kgs (Rs. 2/kg Rs. 2.50/kg) = 4,000 units ( Rs. 0.50/kg) = Rs. 2,000 [Adv] This will be the "Material Price Variance (MPV)" that you would find through your calculations. Though only the material consumed is considered for calculations, the MPV reveals the variance in relation to the purchases made during the current period. This happens if you value the Opening as well as Closing Stocks at Standard Prices.

Approximate Decimal Values (Or) Exact Fractional Values :: What to use in Calculations?
In calculations, where we come across fractions, we many a times use their approximate decimal equivalents (Say we use Rs. 2.67 in place of Rs. 8/3).

Where you have used such approximate decimal equivalents, you need to understand that there would be slight variation in the answer arrived at. This would be crucial in this topic, where you are trying to verify the variances using the inter relationships among the variances. In such cases, slight adjustments would have to be made to arrive at the correct conclusion. To avoid such occurances, you can use the fractions themselves in calculations, instead of their approximate decimal equivalents. One another way the need for adjustment may be avoided is by using large number of digits after the decimal.

Calculation of Value of Materials Consumed:

Since there is no opening stock we only need to find the value of closing stock in order to find the value of material consumed. Finding the value of materials consumed involves:

Finding the value of closing stock.

Notice:

The working table contains data relating to material consumed for the output achieved. But for the problem of deciding the value of closing stock, which would reveal the value of material consumed, there is no difference in approach for solving other problems and this problem.

Price Variance related to purchases made during the current period


Current Purchase Standard Price Variance = = purchases = 3,000 units price = Rs. 3/unit price = Rs. 2/unit relating to the purchases made during the current period Quantity Purchased (Standard Price Actual Price) 3,000 units (Rs. 2/unit Rs. 3/unit) = 3,000 units ( Rs. 1/unit) = Rs. 3,000 [Adv or Unf] This would be the material price variance that you would find in your calculation. Though you consider only the material consumed in your calculations, the material price variance reveals the variance in Period

relation to the purchases made during the current period. This happens if you value the opening as well as closing stocks at the standard prices.

Approximate Decimal Values (Or) Exact Fractional Values :: What to use in Calculations?
In calculations, where we come across fractions, we many a times use their approximate decimal equivalents (Say we use Rs. 2.67 in place of Rs. 8/3). Where you have used such approximate decimal equivalents, you need to understand that there would be slight variation in the answer arrived at. This would be crucial in this topic, where you are trying to verify the variances using the inter relationships among the variances. In such cases, slight adjustments would have to be made to arrive at the correct conclusion. To avoid such occurances, you can use the fractions themselves in calculations, instead of their approximate decimal equivalents. One another way the need for adjustment may be avoided is by using large number of digits after the decimal.
